The PICE Iloilo Chapter will serve as the Lead Support Chapter, ensuring the event’s success and smooth execution.

A Platform for Professional Growth

The conference presents a valuable opportunity for civil engineers to earn continuing professional development (CPD) units, as mandated by Republic Act 10912, also known as the CPD Law. By offering accessible and cost-effective avenues for professional growth, the event supports engineers in meeting their CPD requirements without undue burden.

Diverse and Comprehensive Technical Program

• Project Management and Construction Engineering
• Geotechnical Engineering
• Structural Engineering
• Transportation Engineering
• Water Engineering
• Environmental & Energy Engineering
• Civil Engineering Education

In addition to these, the program will delve into critical areas such as Professional Ethics, Gender and Development in Infrastructure, Civil Engineering Specialization and Career Progression & Specialization Program, and the Disaster Risk Reduction Management Law alongside the PICE-DRM Program.

Fostering Collaboration and Innovation

By bringing together experts, practitioners, and academics, the conference aims to foster collaboration and innovation within the civil engineering community. The event seeks to bridge boundaries and build global partnerships that will contribute to more resilient and sustainable development practices.
